of the united states by passing a law, which, by the way, is unconstitutional. it violates the protections that the aclu is trying to protect. >> did you think president obama was on the right track when he first said he was for transparency. >> caller: he was always on the right track. i think he's been given very bad advice. >> robert, thank you for kwoyou phone call. staci is calling from indiana. tell us your take on this. i understand you're a soldier. concern is releasing the picture puts peoples' lives in danger. but you say you don't think the public needs to know everything the military does to keep the country safe. >> caller: i'm a veteran. i've been home for eight months now. i'm not active soldier right now if you want to observe and pick at the military strategies i advise you to enlist in the military. transparency is an issue for certain policies. i.e., health care and tacks. transparency in the military equals disaster. i'm sorry. i'm just saying that if you have an experienced poker player, you don't see him showing his opponents all his cards.

canada was not a threat to the united states. no matter what you may have thought, we're not taking over the country in any way. it is very difficult to attack the united states. one thing is the absolute shock to the system that came out of 9-11 -- 9/11. it was the first time we had an attack on our soil since the british attacked the white house. it happened a scale that will completely upset the whole country. i do not know if we have the capacity to deal with these kinds of issues. there is such an emotional response that makes it very difficult to govern, and the role of the media does not help. particularly when the media is more visual than it is reality. the images tell partial truth, the humans do not tell the truth. they distort the american political system and indeed, the american political issue. it is astounding to me to see how people can claim a victory on today's news stories. it is going on today, as we speak. i find it very discouraging. i remained optimistic about the qualities of american society. its willing
